Made by Smart Data people

Between client projects and on their own time, Smart Data engineers build components, tools and platforms, contribute to open source, develop talks, work on research and fine-tune AI models. Some of it is internal Smart Data work and some of it is their own, but all of it comes from people in our ecosystem.
